Isaiah 17:1-14

17:1

The burden
<04853>

of Damascus
<01834>_.

Behold, Damascus
<01834>

is taken away
<05493> (8716)

from [being] a city
<05892>_,

and it shall be a ruinous
<04654>

heap
<04596>_.

17:2

The cities
<05892>

of Aroer
<06177>

[are] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_:

they shall be for flocks
<05739>_,

which shall lie down
<07257> (8804)_,

and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.

17:3

The fortress
<04013>

also shall cease
<07673> (8738)

from Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the kingdom
<04467>

from Damascus
<01834>_,

and the remnant
<07605>

of Syria
<0758>_:

they shall be as the glory
<03519>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

17:4

And in that day
<03117>

it shall come to pass, [that] the glory
<03519>

of Jacob
<03290>

shall be made thin
<01809> (8735)_,

and the fatness
<04924>

of his flesh
<01320>

shall wax lean
<07329> (8735)_.

17:5

And it shall be as when the harvestman
<07105>

gathereth
<0622> (8800)

the corn
<07054>_,

and reapeth
<07114> (8799)

the ears
<07641>

with his arm
<02220>_;

and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> (8764)

ears
<07641>

in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

17:6

Yet gleaning grapes
<05955>

shall be left
<07604> (8738)

in it, as the shaking
<05363>

of an olive tree
<02132>_,

two
<08147>

[or] three
<07969>

berries
<01620>

in the top
<07218>

of the uppermost bough
<0534>_,

four
<0702>

[or] five
<02568>

in the outmost fruitful
<06509> (8802)

branches
<05585>

thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

17:7

At that day
<03117>

shall a man
<0120>

look
<08159> (8799)

to his Maker
<06213> (8802)_,

and his eyes
<05869>

shall have respect
<07200> (8799)

to the Holy
<06918>

One of Israel
<03478>_.

17:8

And he shall not look
<08159> (8799)

to the altars
<04196>_,

the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

neither shall respect
<07200> (8799)

[that] which his fingers
<0676>

have made
<06213> (8804)_,

either the groves
<0842>_,

or the images
<02553>_.

{images: or, sun images}

17:9

In that day
<03117>

shall his strong
<04581>

cities
<05892>

be as a forsaken
<05800> (8803)

bough
<02793>_,

and an uppermost branch
<0534>_,

which they left
<05800> (8804)

because
<06440>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and there shall be desolation
<08077>_.

17:10

Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

the God
<0430>

of thy salvation
<03468>_,

and hast not been mindful
<02142> (8804)

of the rock
<06697>

of thy strength
<04581>_,

therefore shalt thou plant
<05193> (8799)

pleasant
<05282>

plants
<05194>_,

and shalt set
<02232> (8799)

it with strange
<02114> (8801)

slips
<02156>_:

17:11

In the day
<03117>

shalt thou make thy plant
<05194>

to grow
<07735> (8770)_,

and in the morning
<01242>

shalt thou make thy seed
<02233>

to flourish
<06524> (8686)_:

[but] the harvest
<07105>

[shall be] a heap
<05067>

in the day
<03117>

of grief
<02470> (8737)

and of desperate
<0605> (8803)

sorrow
<03511>_.

{a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}

17:12

Woe
<01945>

to the multitude
<01995>

of many
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

[which] make a noise
<01993> (8799)

like the noise
<01993> (8800)

of the seas
<03220>_;

and to the rushing
<07588>

of nations
<03816>_,

[that] make a rushing like the rushing
<07582> (8735)

of mighty
<03524>

waters
<04325>_!

{multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}

17:13

The nations
<03816>

shall rush
<07582> (8735)

like the rushing
<07588>

of many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_:

but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> (8804)

them, and they shall flee
<05127> (8804)

far off
<04801>_,

and shall be chased
<07291> (8795)

as the chaff
<04671>

of the mountains
<02022>

before
<06440>

the wind
<07307>_,

and like a rolling thing
<01534>

before
<06440>

the whirlwind
<05492>_.

{a rolling...: or, thistledown}

17:14

And behold at eveningtide
<06256> <06153>

trouble
<01091>_;

[and] before the morning
<01242>

he [is] not. This [is] the portion
<02506>

of them that spoil
<08154> (8802)

us, and the lot
<01486>

of them that rob
<0962> (8802)

us.
